[QUOTE="LuvGaming"][QUOTE="laughingman42"]actually they said they shipped 5.5 million and 3.6 mil were sold to retailers.laughingman42

3.6 mil sold in MARCH!!!!!

Plus 1 mil in pal territorys since then..,. that´s 4.6 mil. plus a few more in NA and Japan.. 5-5.5 mil..

simple math bi**es.

Anyways, "About 5.5 million PlayStation 3 consoles were shipped by March 31, with 3.6 million of them actually sold, Oneda said."

What's today's date? That's right, March 31st was nearly 3 months ago. So, the 5.5 million number isn't hard to believe at all.

on nexgenwars ps3 has 3.5 million sold where as the wii is on 8.1 mill and 360 on 11.1 mill.

To say the ps3 will be back in the race in6 months time is laughable they are in trouble unless they have a big pricedrop in the xmas time. Even then i think it will be last all through 2008 as well

[QUOTE="LuvGaming"][QUOTE="laughingman42"]ok lets sayretailers actually sold every single one of those 3.6 million consoles to costomers (not even close) add 2 months of NDP and Japanese numbers to that and then a little more for europe. that might be just over 4 million.laughingman42

[QUOTE="LuvGaming"][QUOTE="laughingman42"]I'm saying at most 4 million. Just a guess (and this is complete speculation based on what I've observed from articles, NDP and,sales estimation sights so please dont ask for a link) I wouldguesssomewhere around4.2-4.4 million sold to stores and maybe 3.5-3.8 milion sold to customers.laughingman42

Despite what that Oneda said, the PS3 most certainly did NOT sell 3.6 million by March 31. It is closer to 3.6 million now, if anything. And it's doubtful it could sell 2 million in two anda half months, even if it was 3.6 million at the end of March even with Korea's launch.-Antisocial-

NEXGENSWARS.COM IS A FAKE SITE!!!

God when will you people understand that?

[QUOTE="LuvGaming"][QUOTE="laughingman42"]I think you're confused. 6+ million PS3's have been SHIPPED/SOLD to retailers. 3.6 million were sold to CUSTOMERS by late March. It is now almost July and Sony has launched in Korea since then. I'm pretty sure Sony sold at least 1 million PS3's over a 2 1/2 month period but eh, who really knows for sure.

ermm, its 5,5 mil ps3s sold to retaliers, not to customers.

Number of ps3s sold to consumers is 3.5 mil according to next gen wars and when a console sells 80000 a month and gets outsold by the Gba, it is considered bad

My, aren't we aggressive?Nice nitpicking, although it's obvious French isn't a language I know. Everyone knows what I meant anyway.

But in all seriousness, thanks for the lesson. Don't think I'll ever get it wrong again. :P

[QUOTE="gromit007"]

Nowhere near 5.5 million. Can anyone link to official SALES???

cwalters

go to nexgenwars.com

Lilac_Benjie

Exactly.

So what if Sony have shipped 5.5 million Playstation 3's. That doesn't stop them from sitting on store shelves.

lol really funny vid hah watch the entire thing

JAMES_L_BROOKS

you must be a real nerd to make a movie like that

5.5 million sold already to consumers? Could've sworn it was at 3.6 million a few days ago.

I'll just wait for an official announcement.

it needs better games .. other than MGS4, tekken 6 and eventually GOW3, nothing excites me

it's not worth getting the console for 3 games

[QUOTE="gromit007"]

I did. It says that as of right now, 3,477,000 (about) PS3's were sold. Point?

Still getting owned by the wii :P

and 5.5 million sold, thats how many have been shipped NOT SOLD

about half of that total are sitting on shelfs watching the wii's beign snapped up like hot cakes :P

when your #1, everyone wants to see you go down.Solid-CELL

So very true!

[QUOTE="gromit007"]

3.477 million

go to nexgenwars.com

Japan: 900,000
Europe: 1,000,000
USA: 1,500,000

= 3.4 million. Learn your Math.

5.5 Million shiped =/= sold.

no thanks

truth hurts dosen't it?

no because it's not official, and don't talk to me like i'm a fanboy @#$%

:cry:awwwww, :lol:

why are you crying and laughing?

I asked a simple question where it said that it sold 5.5 mil, then you told me go to a crummy???

what's up?

nexgenwars is not to the tee as I stated earlier, but the numbers they report come from the big 3

it hasnt sold five mil

ps3 is a flop

hmmm....i remember i saw u sometime at the ps3 forum...but u was acting like ps3 is ok to u....

yea... u must let ur fanboyism go out ..u know...its hard to keep all that hating inside

Even if that article is using accurate sources, the fact still remains that Sony counts a unit as being sold as soon as it leaves their factory, it does not in any way mean that 5.5 million people have bought a PS3.
